Tenuta di Arceno Il Fauno di Arcanum 2020 1.5L Magnum

The nose exudes black cherries, wild honey, and sweet mint. This full-bodied wine immediately envelopes the palate, framed and defined by an intense minerality. Flavors of dark plums, sweet roses are enhanced by notes of black pepper and exotic spice. The finish is vibrant and uplifting, with bright acid and a hint of cedary oak.

Blend: 43% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot

93 Points- Wine Spectator

Pure, this red features black currant, blackberry, violet, iron and wild herb flavors. Reveals muscular tannins that integrate with some aeration. Balanced and long. Decant now. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.

Blackberry, fresh rosemary and basil with some hot-stone undertones. Medium-to full-bodied with currants, fresh earth and hints of chocolate. Lovely texture to this. Give it three or four years to come together, but already tight knit and nicely constructed. Try after 2024.

93 Points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This is a terrific value. The 2019 Il Fauno di Arcanum shows an inky dark color with thick concentration and lots of luscious dark fruit. This blend of 43% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot is modern and very well crafted. It would pair nicely across from steak or tender lamb chops. Best After 2022
